OVER 70K INVESTED!! Custom 2004 Chevrolet Colorado - Coloradical Blessed by GM, Built by a Fanatic Photography by Lance Martz Mini Truckin', April 01, 2005 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Cover Page Owner: Trent Van Arsdalen Ride: '04 Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab Hometown: Baltimo Trent Van Arsdalen has been working with custom vehicles for the past 16 years. In that time, he's run the gamut of all aspects of building and showing custom trucks and cars. His expertise, however, lies in his talents as an interior-design guru. Over the years, Trent has been responsible for showing vehicles in 14 states and has taken home many awards for his hard work and thoughtful interiors. Last year, Trent was the lucky recipient of an '04 Chevy Colorado Extended Cab, complete with the new Vortec 3500 3.5L inline I-5 engine. His goal was to turn the truck around in record time to debut it at the 2004 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Once the truck was delivered to Trent's Garage Ma-Hall (his massive 2,450 square-foot two-story facility) at Trent's Trick Upholstery in Baltimore, Ohio, the fun began. Using the extensive customer base of McCullough Public Relations, Trent was able to bring all kinds of big players in the automotive aftermarket on board with his project, which made getting the items he needed to make the truck's design become a reality happen faster than he ever imagined. With plenty of the needed products already in hand, Trent started reworking the truck in anticipation of the SEMA Show that was drawing closer by the day. With all the tools he needed to finish the truck, Trent began the insane two-month building spree that turned an otherwise stock Colorado into the showpiece that wound up winning two very prestigious awards at SEMA. To start, the door-handle areas were reworked to allow use of '00 Corvette handles. Once that modification was complete, the truck was handed over to Lynch Concepts for a total of 10 days, where the truck was transformed using the Keller Designs rendering Trent had supplied. Amazingly, the crew at Lynch Concepts really threw down and had the whole truck turned around faster than anyone could have believed. While the truck was at the body shop, Trent was busier than he'd ever been, reworking the door panels and building the center console. The console would be installed between a pair of Interior Supply & Services custom bucket seats that Trent had painstakingly upholstered to work flawlessly with all the other interior modifications. 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Custom Dashboard The truck's suspension was then reworked at Cyrus's Suspension Shack using Air Ride Technologies' components, along with tubular upper control arms from Progressive Automotive. The truck was lowered more than 6 inches from stock in total, without any cutting of the chassis. The new suspension system is truly a bolt-on affair. When the truck came out of Cyrus's, it possessed a new attitude, due to its new altitude, and Trent was eager to move onto the next phase of the truck's development. What was next? Trent cut a gaping hole into the roof as the perfect opening for an Inalfa moonroof to be installed. With that accomplished, he moved on to complete the installation of the truck's new interior, while the truck's stereo system was installed and wired by Dave Planton using Scosche parts and electronic components from Kicker, Dual, Rosen Entertainment, Rostra Controls, and Subtomix. At this point, Trent had a truck on his hands with a completed interior that would make a street-rod owner green with envy, as well as a truck that matched the original rendering in colors. The things that he didn't have, though, were sending him over the edge, with only days to go before the truck was to be loaded onto a trailer and taken to Las Vegas. Ultimately, Trent ended up installing the truck's custom engine cover he'd built and loaded the truck for the trip without custom wheels or front brakes. He made a leap of faith in trusting the companies that had faithfully supported his project build would be there for him at the end of his journey. Luckily, four 20-inch Bonspeed wheels were sitting in Las Vegas when he arrived. He installed the rest of the Stainless Steel Brake Corporation braking components and bolted up the specially built new Bonspeed wheels only hours before driving the truck into the Las Vegas Convention Center to showcase his newest creation. When we asked Trent Van Arsdalen why he built the Coloradical in the first place, he said: "It was the hottest new truck to hit the truck market, and I wanted to be one of the first to build one. I bleed Chevy orange and have been driving them all my life. I've got about eight Chevrolet vehicles right now, and building the Coloradical is a sweet accomplishment I had never experienced to this degree until now." 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Artist Rendering 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Custom Interior 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Custom Wheel 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Side Mirror 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Engine Bay 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Front View 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Sponsors 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Exhaust Tips 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Custom Bed The Lowdown Wheels/Tires 20x8.5-inch Bonspeed Laguna 6 Colorforged aluminum wheels / 245/35ZR20 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 tires Suspension/Chassis Progressive Automotive tubular upper control arms / Air Ride Technologies Shockwave air spring and shock assemblies up front / Air Ride Technologies four-link setup and air springs in the rear / Stainless Steel Brake Corporation's 14-inch CNC-machined slotted front rotors, 13-inch CNC-machined slotted rear rotors, three-piston Force-10 Tri-Power calipers / suspension installation by Cyrus's Suspension Shack in Chillicothe, Ohio 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Custom Paint Body Modifications/Additions Shaved door handles replaced with Corvette handles / all-steel cowl-induction ram-air hood by Reflexxion / Street Scene front-bumper cover / Street Scene roll pan / Street Scene ground effects / Street Scene electric side mirrors / Inalfa model 840 moonroof / Trenz billet grille insert and one-off billet bumper insert / ARE tonneau cover Bodywork/Paint/Graphics Bodywork, paint, and graphics by Lynch Concepts in Chillicothe, Ohio / House of Kolor's Red Persimmon and Sunset Pearl paint / ghosted Chevy bow-tie emblems in the black stripe running front to back, separating the Persimmon and Sunset Pearl hues Interior Phipps Rod & Custom Accessories custom billet pedals / fabricated door panels by Trent's Trick Upholstery / Rostra Precision & Controls seat heaters and backup warning system / Trent's Trick Upholstery custom-fabricated center console / chamois and black Optima leather used throughout / Woodview Automotive Trim accents / custom bucket seats, beige square-weave carpeting, and Optima leather from Interior Supply & Services / Air Ride Technologies E-Ride controller mounted in forward center console / Faze gauges mounted in forward center console / all interior work by Trent's Trick Upholstery in Baltimore, Ohio 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Custom Audio System Stereo Dual stereo head unit (model XDY8125) / Scosche wiring throughout / Rosen Entertainment 10-inch flip-down monitor (with preloaded arcade games on board) in ARE tonneau cover and 7-inch in-dash monitor / Kicker amplifiers / Subtomix subwoofer enclosures / four 12-inch Kicker subwoofers (two in the cab and two in the bed) / two sets of component speakers installed in the cab / one set component speakers installed in the bed Engine/Performance Corsa SS stainless-steel after-cat exhaust system / Airaid air intake system / Airaid throttle-body spacer / |

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo could only work in a video game [w/video]
Thu, Nov 20 2014There's something wondrous about the Vision Gran Turismo series of concepts that has let companies go wild with completely imaginary concepts for Gran Turismo. For Chevrolet's crack at the idea, it has taken a page out of its performance past with the Chaparral Can-Am racers of the '60s and '70s, with its designers having reinterpreted that period look for the future of motorsports as the Chaparral 2X. In real life, the 2X looks even better than in earlier photos. The design takes inspiration from someone in a flying suit with head down and arms outstretched, an influence you can really see that in the vehicle's shape. The driver lies facedown inside with the instruments projected onto a visor. Unfortunately, the powertrain here is a complete flight of fancy and works purely in the video game world. It imagines a laser propelled by lithium-ion batteries and an air-powered generation to make 900 horsepower. The 2X has a theoretical top speed of 240 miles per hour and hits 60 mph in a lightning-quick 1.5 seconds. Scroll down to see the concept on video with Chevrolet designers describing their inspiration and read the company's full announcement. It's also downloadable in Gran Turismo 6. Chevrolet to Show Chaparral Vision Gran Turismo Concept Boundary-pushing, Chevy-powered race cars changed motorsports design DETROIT – When racers Jim Hall and Hap Sharp founded Chaparral Cars in 1962, few could have guessed how they would shake up the conformities of the racing world – and fundamentally change it. Through pioneering applications of aerodynamics and aerospace technology, and a partnership with Chevrolet Research and Development, Chaparral Cars advanced the science of racing cars. It also triumphed on the track over well-established sports car companies from around the world, using Chevrolet horsepower. It was that spirit of innovation that inspired the Chevrolet Chaparral 2X VGT concept race car developed for the Vision Gran Turismo project, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of PlayStation® racing game Gran Turismo by inviting manufacturers to give fans a glimpse into the future of automotive design. It will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Nov. 19, and gamers will be able race the Chaparral 2X VGT following the release of an online update for Gran Turismo 6 during the holiday season.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
